7520 BRITISH ARMOURED BATTLE GROUP
Tim Matzold & Daniel Nowak
In this splendid new volume, the British Army comes under the
camera lens, particularly units of the 1st (UK) Armoured Division
based in Germany. The British Army operates in formations known as
Battle Groups (BGs), flexible organizations of infantry and armor
that can be rearranged according to the mission at hand. This book
by the knowledgeable duo of Tim Matzold and Daniel Nowak examines
the BG concept, especially armored BGs.
Supported by a superb range of photographs taken over a period of
time during a variety of exercises, "The Armoured Battle Group"
provides readers with all the information they would ever need to
know about a British Army armored BG. It covers the organization of
typical and specific BGs, with a high degree of detail on the
various sub-units incorporated into the formation. Naturally, there
is a vast amount of detail about the vehicles and equipment used by
the British Army. There are full-color pictures of the Scimitar,
Spartan, Sultan, Samaritan, Striker, Stormer, JCB tractor, Unipower
tank bridge transporter, CET, Terrier, Chieftan AVRE, Chieftan
AVLB, Challenger ARRV, Titan, Trojan, FV432, Warrior (including the
new BGSV), AS90, and Challenger 2. Obviously, a lot of vehicles
that receive excellent coverage!
The book also contains four color plates and two 1/35 scale plans
by Laurent Lecocq. This book gives very welcome exposure to
vehicles of the British Army, and readers will find a tremendous
amount to enthuse over between the covers!
